GeoStream UK has completed extensive demolition, decommissioning and remediation works on the site of a former petrol station in Brighton.

The small-footprint site raised numerous challenges for GeoStream’s environmental specialists, including working around an adjacent listed structure which required protection.

Completed works include:

Removal of notifiable asbestos

Demolition of aboveground building, including metal recycling and separation of hard materials for reuse

Decommissioning of hydrocarbon infrastructure, including eight USTs

Removal and treatment of hydrocarbon contamination

Reinstatement of the site ready for development

James Cartwright, Managing Director of GeoStream UK, said: “With a small area to work with and congestion on-site, we needed to devise a strategic response that would allow for maximum efficiency and minimal disruption.

“The team did a fantastic job, ensuring the project was completed on programme, on budget and with no time lost.”
